Hear the original story and imagine the ride.  On Wednesday, December 15, 2010 from 6:00PM to 7:00PM the Polar Express will be at the Harbor-Topky Memorial Library.  Wear your pajamas and enjoy free cookies and hot chocolate.  This program is free and open to the public.  

Are you looking for something new and exciting for your son or daughter?  Try our on-line databases.  The "Early World of Learning" by WorldBook has on-line storytimes and games for students.  Stop by the children's area in the library, sign up your little ones to use a computer, and watch them enjoy something entertaining and educational.  

The following titles have been selected for the 2014 Kent State English Festival:

Divergent by Roth
A Monster Calls by Ness
Inkheart by Funke
I am David by Holm
My Name is Not Easy  by Edwardson
Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation...Graphic Novel by Tim Hamilton

You can reserve a copy by phone, on-line, or visiting the library during regular business hours.

So many people made substanial donations to the library in 2009.  We would like to thank the countless indivduals for their kidness and generosity.  Also, we  would like to give a special thanks to the following groups:

Lion's Club
Fortnightly
Kiwanis
VFW
Elk's Club
The Book Forum
Morrison Foundation
And the Friends of the Library

If I have to put a price tag on monetary and material donations given to the library in 2009 it would be in the $50,000 dollar range.
